Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

Many people I work with typically find themselves in a place on their path where they feel stuck. Whether they’re experiencing facets of historical and/or intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relational struggle, identity obstacles, and more, I find many people struggle to access the strengths they innately possess to move through life’s challenges. Many internal AND external factors contribute to the disempowerment of self, who we can more fully recover, together.
